Awesome. I third that.
First Contact is probably my favorite Star Trek movie too.
Well, might as well make a list. I think it would go something like this, 1 being best and on down:
Oh, this
might not be so easy. But I'll give it a try.

Galaxy Quest
I'm only half-kidding. Maybe more like one-eighth-kidding. Not sure I'm kidding at all. I mean, I like to say that, and I know that I'm being cheeky when I say that, but I'm also being serious. =)
It ends up being an affectionate and a very successful send-up of
Star Trek, and I have real affection for it.

First Contact (8)
It just does everything right, doesn't it? It has action & adventure. It has comedy. It has romance. It's smart. It has high drama, whatever that means. I'm thinking of the "Moby Dick Scene," for one. What outstanding performances by both Patrick Stewart and Alfre Woodard. And James Cromwell as Zephran Cochran is great as a guy who helped to make Starfleet and the Federation possible, as well being sort of an antidote to what it's become. And of course, another thing that made it great was Alice Krige as the Borg Queen. Krige delivered a great performance, and everyone did such a great job of making the Queen happen, like the makeup people and special effects people etc. And of course there's the very entertaining parley or dance or battle of wits between the Queen and Data.

I hope
Into Darkness is sooo good that it goes right at the top of the list. But I doubt it will be able to unseat those already there. Hey, if it's just top 7 or 8 worthy, that'll be pretty good.
Damn, this sort of puts me in the mood for a Trek marathon.
